This place is an uncut diamond for vegetarians. If you get past the faded facade the food, the price, and the friendly service will amaze you. Theres also a distinctly familiar feeling about the place with neighbors dropping in and the regular diners chatting in the corner. Note: CASH ONLY

Lucky Creation does interesting takes on Chinese Vegan Cuisine. My main complaint was there is too much choice & was sure everything would be great so went with the stuffed eggplant. This came with tofu & bell pepper. All three items were stuffed with Taro Root which has an interesting flavor & texture. The dish was under $9 & had a side of brown rice for $1.95. The portions are pretty epic so bring a hearty appetite or a friend to share or a pyrex to take some home. Lucky Creation is situated in Chinatown on the upward ascent of one of those gnarly hills. Lucky the restaurant is more toward the bottom of the ascent yet after fueling up here you can have some get up & go to further explore the epic San Francisco hills that looks like that were transplanted from a Science Fiction book. I'd love to come back & explore more of the menu as I understand it Lucky Creation has been doing this a long time so is a veteran in faux meats, mock meats, & seitan long before it was hip as well as trendy for us vegans down for the cause!

This place was delicious! We ordered the lucky noodle dish (changed it to chow fun instead of chow mein), and a rice dish with several types of mushrooms. The serving size was large, between the two of us we couldn't finish! The food was very flavorful and just as good as food I've had in Hong Kong. Their hot sauce is really spicy! I also got a "pork" bun to go from the front dim sum counter which was delicious! Their dim sum is a great takeout item that you can eat later for a snack.

If you're looking for vegetarian food in Chinatown, there is a delightful experience waiting for you at Lucky Creation Vegetarian Restaurant! I've never eaten here, but have occasionally ordered a bunch of stuff to go. I've tried a majority of the to go items here and have never been disappointed. The food here is also very unique. My favorite is definitely what I believe to be chopped up vegetarian bbq pork. The tiny pieces in the savory sauce go so well with rice. I always get the vegetarian bbq mix and it is very pleasing to the taste with much variety in flavor, texture, and appearance. Some other neat items they got here are the walnuts, vegetarian sushi (w/ peanuts, rice, and carrots), and the rolled up bean curd. They are all inexplicably delicious for what they are.

Local vegetarian spot in Chinatown that has been there for over 25 years. Their food never disappoints and the portions are huge. This definitely makes you want to go vegetarian. There are a variety of great eats but some of my favorites include: 1. 3 deluxe vegetarian wrap 2. Gluten sausage with fried tofu and snow cabbage over fried noodles 3. sweet and sour gluten and curry gluten 4. walnut paste dessert (freshly made) CASH ONLY

This has been my go to vegetarian restaurant in SF since the 90s. Went back here on a recent visit and everything was perfect as usual. The servers/owners recognized us and asked why it has been so long since we've been there. Some menu highlights are the gluten appetizer, the lemon chicken, the lucky creation chow mein, the curry gluten chow mein, the veggie sushi roll, and the taro cakes. The place is super tiny so don't be surprised if you have to share a table.

This is a hidden Vegetarian gem. Food is delicious, authentic and inexpensive in keeping with its Buddhist owners/master chef's belief of spreading compassion and happiness thru artisan vegan cuisine. This is the real deal - no meat contaminated oils and food is vegan and kosher! It does not serve a lot of factory made "imitation" meats so as not to promote the desire to eat meat or something that looks like it. All their vegetarian proteins (gluten) are house made by the chef's secret recipe. Seriously the gluten is better here than the big temple dining halls in Hong Kong. If it weren't so good it would not have been here for 28 years! MUst tries are: Mixed Gluten appetizer Stuffed Three Treasures Tofu skin rolls Wild mushrooms with greens Pei Pa tofu Candied walnuts - light and crispy, can't stop munching them.

My classic favorite vegetarian spot! I love their bean curd combo that mimics (or tries to) bbq pork sauce, curry, sweet and sour sauce and bean paste sauce! It's great for an opening appetizer and they have it readily made if you want to pack it to go! A signature dish at this vegetarian shop, is their vegan crispy goose. The fried crispness on the outside and crunchiness of the mock, cooked veggies on the inside, is yum! Dip the portion in their house made sauce, then it will leave you wanting for more! Do order up their Hot and Sour Soup! It is to die for - especially on a cold day! Their Taro Dish cake is intricately fried and carved into a fish. It leaves wonders to the eye! If you want to add just one more dish, then I would suggest their Three Mushrooms Pan-Fried Egg Noodles! If you order all of the dishes I named, you will have a veggie delight! Cash only!
